Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I could meet everybody on here, because we all understand each other we could all lean on one another at all times, it's lonely when you feel like everyone just looks at you like your crazy and doesn't understand.

I feel like im crazy and try my hardest to not let people see. Feel like they can see all the thoughts spinning in my head!

I do, too. I developed anxiety when I was in my teens, first time. I had many years free of symptoms and felt 'normal'. Lots of stress over the years has brought it back. When I was younger, I went along to a 'stresswatch' group that was started by an older woman, who had recovered from years of agoraphobia after being treated by a young psychologist with relaxation techniques. It was an enormous relief to meet other people who suffered as I did. To look someone in the eye and know they understood exactly how I felt. No words needed. It gave me reassurance and definitely helped in my recovery. I met another girl there, a little younger than myself, we became good friends and used to laugh about all the 'crazy' things that we experienced. It was therapy. Unfortunately there are no self-help groups I know of anywhere in my area, these days. I'd like to start one, I know it would help others.

I agree I don't even remember how I found this blog, but it helps. And makes me feel a bit better knowing what I'm going through is, real and there are people who understands it. X oxoxo ps I'm in north Jersey and would love to set up a meet and greet support group. Take care and be well

I agree. But I think you'd be surprised to see that many of your friends and peers are going through similar things. They may just have different ways of dealing with it. Its great that we all have HU community to fall back on when we are feeling troubled.

(((hugs))) to all of us!

I agree with you completely. I feel that almost no one understands what I am going through, although they are sympathetic. It would be nice to have a support group although it might be complicated as we are in different places. If you feel alone, you are not alone. That sounds almost funny but what I mean is that loneliness is a feeling which is very disturbing, but still a feel. Getting in touch with the feeling and not trying to avoid it is as important as anything else. Then gaining some detachment from it. This is all a process for everyone and there is no idealistic perfect ending for anyone. Trusting your intuition is also important so you begin to realize you are not crazy despite the perceptions of others.
